When you think of anticipated 2018 movies, the likes ofSolo: A Star Wars Story,Avengers: Infinity WarandThe Incredibles 2come to mind.

However, none of those topped the social media buzz at the end of 2017 – in fact, the movie the most people are talking about is a little unexpected.

According to data frommedia measurement firm comScore (viaVariety),Maze Runner: The Death Curewas the most-talked about movie in the last week on social media.

The third film in theMaze Runnerseries sparked more than 53,000 new conversations in the past seven days, bringing it to a total of nearly 600,000 overall.

That may be partly down to the release of a new poster for the movie last week, though its ranking is comfortably ahead of second placedFifty Shades Freed(37,000 new conversations).

The third most buzzy movie at the end of 2017 wasBlack Panther(nearly 35,000), ahead of fellow Marvel movieInfinity War(22,000).

The Death Curehas been a while coming since production was halted and its release date was pushed back a year following anon-set injury sustained by star Dylan O'Brien.

The first two movies made a good amount of money at the box office, so it's safe to say this one will prove quite popular too. After all, quite a lot of you are talking about it ahead of its release next month.

Still,SoloandThe Incredibles 2did get a bit of social media buzz, generating 11,000 and 4,000 conversations respectively.
